Abe the Wizard - Chapter 877

Chapter 877: Dolf

Just then, the Beamon giant beast went from a pure death spirit to a hybrid with a spirit inside its body. It was full of life now, so to speak. It had hair. Its eyes started to gleam. If Abel weren’t holding the bone card in his hand, he wouldn’t even know that this was a Beamon giant beast that’s been resurrected by the “resurrection” spell. It was quite strange, really. This was just a low-tier Beamon giant beast. That being said, there were a lot of possibilities in its future. It needed to be promoted several times before it could reach its ultimate form.

Abel continued to feed it the soul potion. As of now, he realized that its soul could no longer contain much more soul potion. Any more would’ve destroyed this newly formed spirit before it could absorb the portion that was already taken. He was fine with waiting. With a powerful ally being newly created, he was looking forward to adding more buffs to it. For example, if he was to have the enhanced hell ability onto the Beamon giant beast, it might just become one of his greatest hell creatures. He was going to really need it if he was to face the rank nineteen wizard again.

Anyways, now that the Beamon giant beast just became an actual summoned creature of his, it was now time to give it a real name.

Abel spoke through the soul chain, “I guess I’ll call you Dolf from now on.”

For some strange reason, he could feel a strong affection for this newborn soul that he just discovered. It was like when a newborn baby duck saw its parents. As for Dolf, while its intelligence was not at the level that was anticipated, it understood that the word “Dolf” was supposed to be its name. As for the other instructions, he’d have to wait before he could feed it enough soul potion for it to be promoted into an intermediate spiritual beast.

As Abel put Dolf into the portal beast ring, he began to introduce all of his summon creatures inside to it. He wanted it to make more friends with the creatures that he owned. No, he wasn’t feeling like learning what the Barbarian taught him. In fact, he wasn’t even feeling like continuing with what the priest taught. That would take too much time. Plus, even if he went through the effort to master them, he just wouldn’t have the right amount of preparation to face the Blizzard clan directly. He needed revenge before he could continue with his training. That was just how his personality was. If someone did wrong to him, he was not the type to hide while they roamed freely outside.

Besides, he remembered what Wizard Emir said very well. The one that came this time was just a rank nineteen advanced wizard. A rank twenty was soon to be on his way to start another ambush. He couldn’t afford to remain in a passive position for too long. As far as he could see, it was just much better if he took the initiative to go find the Blizzard clan himself, in his own unique way.

When Abel appeared in the hallroom of his estate, Kern the butler went up to greet him with a bow.

“Master!” Kern said with urgency, “A message just came from the Wizard Union! Sir Wizard Lamar wishes to see you. He said that if you are free to head to the Wizard Union, he’ll be waiting for you inside the building.”

Abel looked towards the outside. He realized that he spent a little too long this time in the dark world–an entire day. It was already afternoon outside, and he already drank the “ration potion” to skip his meals.

Abel nodded to Kern, “Got it, Kern. Have someone prepare a chariot for me.”

The chariot appeared right outside of the Silan Wizard Union. Once Abel was there, he saw Wizard Lamar coming out to greet him.

Wizard Lamar smiled as he gave a wizard’s bow, “You’ve finally come, Wizard Abel! If you’ll excuse me, there’s a bit more time before I’m going to go out to do my missions.”

Abel bowed and said apologetically, “So sorry to have kept you waiting, Wizard Lamar. I was doing my shutdown training.”

The two weren’t just regular friends. Since they fought together on the battleground, their relationship deepened; it was more genuine than a real friendship. Also, as the two had great respect for each other, it became a good start for them to really get to know each other.

Wizard Lamar gave an inviting gesture for Abel to go in, “Please, Wizard Abel, come inside the guest room with me if you want to talk.”

Once inside, Abel saw that many wizards no longer wearing robes that were damaged on the battleground. They were all busy. Still, a lot of those that recognized him dropped their work and gave their bows in gratitude. They wanted to show their respect to the hero that saved Silan City. Abel was smiling the whole way to respond to the gratitude that was shown to him. Out of understanding, Wizard Lamar stopped walking to let Abel enjoy the respect he’s earned.

After walking inside the guest room, the two picked a comfortable spot to sit across the sideline.

Wizard Lamar began with a very formal bow, “Wizard Abel, first and foremost, on behalf of all of the Wizard Union, I must thank you for coming to help the Silan City Wizard Union while it was under attack.”

Abel stood up and responded with his bow, “It was only natural, Wizard Lamar. As a member of the Wizard Union, I was only doing what my obligation demands of me.”

“Please,” Wizard Lamar invited Abel to sit as he’s already got back to a sitting position, “I’ve already reported everything, Wizard Abel: how you came to help us when our city was under attack. To show our gratitude, our higher-ups have already prepared a reward that’s befitting of your contribution.”

Abel responded with a grin. Whatever this reward Wizard Lamar spoke of was, it must be quite a lot.

Wizard Lamar smiled, “First, you’ll be given a level three authority access inside the Wizard Union. It’s going to be very helpful when you want to trade items in the future.”

Abel went straight for a question, “I don’t really understand how the Wizard Union on the central continent works, Wizard Lamar. Can you explain to me what a level three authority access does?”

“There are a total of five levels inside the Wizard Union. The bottommost is five. With a level five authority access, you will only be able to trade items below what belongs to advanced wizards. Also, you will not have permission to check on any of the advanced wizard items.

Level four is where you would normally be if you were an advanced wizard. You’ll be automatically put into the level four category once you’ve promoted yourself into an advanced wizard. After that, you’ll be able to trade for items that belong to advanced wizards.

Level three is a group specialized for those who have made significant contributions to the Wizard Union. This is when you can start trading for some truly unique items, like limited items that belong to spell masters or other types of precious resources.”

Abel’s eyes sparkled as he listened to Wizard Lamar explaining himself. He didn’t notice these while he was back on the Holy Continent. Come to think of it, while he did have a lot of points. There were certain things that he, for reasons that he didn’t know at the time, just wasn’t capable of trading for back then.

Abel continued to ask, “Is it possible for me to trade the points I’ve saved in the subcontinent to the central continent Wizard Union branch?”

If it was his Holy Continent account, the points he earned were literally increasing every single day. He would still have a lot left no matter which empire he was using it at. As of now, since he had no ways of entering the lightning clan himself, he was going to have to prepare a large number of resources on his own.

Wizard Lamar explained patiently, “You cannot use the points you receive on the subcontinent here, Wizard Abel. No, unless you’re a wizard that’s departed from the central continent Wizard Union to work at the subcontinents.”

It was quite disappointing to hear that. It made sense, though. The central continent Wizard Union branch wouldn’t want to have too many of those from the subcontinents because you’d have to be quite rich to earn enough points to come to the central continent. As the central continent wouldn’t want to suffer a loss, it had strictly forbidden flows of points from the subcontinent Wizard Union branch.

Wizard Lamar smiled as he revealed his wizard crest, “There will be more reward for you at the Wizard Union, Wizard Abel. It’s going to be five thousand points in total.”

Abel took out his wizard crest as well. By touching his with Wizard Lamar’s, a dim light came out of his to show that the transfer was completed. By touching it with his power of the Will, he noticed that the wizard crest showed two different numbers. One was the number 5000, which was the total amount of points that he had. The other was three, which was the level of authority access that he had. What Wizard Lamar did just then was to help him remove some of the restrictions. Since what Abel did for Silan City was so out of the ordinary, he had to make an exception for him by letting him skip to gain a level three authority access,

“Thanks!” Abel smiled.

Wizard Lamar smiled back, “You earned it! As far as I see it, everyone in Silan City should be thanking you!”

Abel did save Silan City, but many people didn’t actually know about it. As for the regular people, they didn’t even know that they were very close to becoming slaves of the nation of evil.

Wizard Lamar stood up and gave a sincere bow, “I’ll have to apologize to you, Wizard Abel.”

Abel went to hold him, “What’re you doing, Wizard Lamar?”

Wizard Lamar smiled, “I’ve reported some of your misbehavior towards the Blizzard clan. I’m very sorry for this, but the Wizard Union’s higher-ups are unwilling to settle it for you. I should be the one responsible for doing that, though.”

Abel said gratefully, “No, that’s fine, Wizard Lamar. You’ve already done plenty for me.”

Deep inside, he knew that the Wizard Union couldn’t settle the beef between him and the Blizzard clan. The higher-ups, especially. There was no way that they would go after an entire Wizard Union organization for a rank sixteen wizard like him. He was a nineteen-year-old prodigy, yes, but he was not going to get any real support before he had truly shown his worth. It was part of the reason he hadn’t chosen to join the lightning clan yet. If he chose to join now, the ice wind clan might just come after him right away without the Wizard Union having to do anything.

It’s not like Wizard Lamar didn’t know what he was up to, either. He had read Abel’s profile before, so he kind of understood the motives behind some of his behavior.

Wizard Lamar spoke, “The Blizzard clan is very powerful, Wizard Abel. They are far more powerful than they appear. The elders seldom show what they are truly capable of. Remember, never get close to Frost City if you plan to meet up with them.”

Abel asked, “What is the Blizzard clan truly capable of, Wizard Lamar?”

Wizard Lamar shrugged his shoulders, “That’s not for me to know. I don’t have the level of access to learn about a wizard organization with a rank twenty as its head.”

Abel frowned a bit at that statement. He thought for a while before a new idea came to mind.

Wizard Lamar advised, “Make sure you find a wizard organization to join first, Wizard Abel. I know you’ve been waiting for the lightning clan to reply to you, and I have asked someone close to them. As far as I can see, it will be a month before the shutdown ends. It’s not going to be safe for you to stay inside Silan City. The defensive circle can hold off advanced wizards, but there’s only so much it can do against a rank twenty.”

The problem became quite apparent for Abel. As a prodigy, he was allowed to join any organizations that he wanted, but if he insisted on joining the lightning clan, he’d have to wait for an entire month without any sort of connections. That was one month he had to face the Blizzard clan alone. Yes, it might be safe to stay inside the city, but if the Blizzard clan was to really go after him, not even the Silan City’s large-sized defensive circle could keep him safe from an attack. If his calculations were correct, Rank twenty advanced wizards would have three chances to hit him before the defensive circle was activated. Given his current strength, he wouldn’t even be able to survive just one hit.

Come to think. It was quite shocking for him to realize that not even Silan City was safe. He would’ve just stayed here if it weren’t for what Wizard Lamar told him. He would be a deadman if the Blizzard clan elder was to really come after him.

Abel smiled to Wizard Lamar, “Thanks for the heads up, Wizard Lamar. Don’t worry. I’ll find a place to hide before they can get to me. I’ll make it hard enough for them to not be able to find me.”

“It’s decided, then,” Wizard Lamar said in a slightly concerned tone, “I’ll be reporting what you’ve told me to the higher-ups. Also, I’ll make sure to notify you immediately after the lightning clan opens up. You can read what I’ve uploaded if you use your wizard crest in any of the Wizard Union branch buildings you go to.”
